Safe, Humane Deterrent Helps Protect Your Garden
A huge amount of time and energy goes into keeping your yard and garden looking great, so it’s only natural that you want to protect them from damage caused by hungry wildlife or local dogs and cats. But there are lots of reasons to avoid chemical deterrents, traps, and hazardous electric fences.

Whether you’re a dedicated organic vegetable gardener or a parent looking out for the health of children and pets that play in your yard, you’ll appreciate the simple, innovative, and effective water-based concept behind the Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler. It’s also a great choice for neighborhoods where fences are prohibited and for people who consider wire fences and other visual barriers unappealing.

When the ScareCrow detects an animal it instantly releases a short but startling burst of water. The sudden spray of water and the movement and noise of the sprinkler scares animals away. Animals associate this negative experience with the area and avoid your yard in the future.

Versatile and Broad-Reaching for Maximum Effectiveness
The Scarecrow is versatile enough to keep deer, rabbits, and other foragers from snacking on plants and bulbs, to prevent dogs from digging up newly seeded lawns, to keep the cat from using your garden as a litter box, and to scare predators like herons and raccoons away from your fish pond.

The ScareCrow’s motion detector is powerful enough to guard an area up to 1000 square feet of coverage with a single sprinkler. For added coverage, Scarecrow sprinklers can be linked in series to guard larger spaces.

Efficient Design and Easy to Set Up
Setting the Scarecrow up is fast and easy, and doesn’t require any special tools. Simply install a standard 9-volt battery, connect the sprinkler to your hose, push the 17-inch stake into ground to secure the unit, and set the adjustable sprinkler arc to cover the area you want protected.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars The most fabulous deer deterrent in the world
I love this product. I have had it for several years now and every spring when the deer come to munch on all of my flowers I put this out and have no more problems. It runs on a 9volt battery and I put the hose on a timer for the times when they come and it works great every time. Keeps cats out of the flower beds as well. Now when a cat walks down the street the go to the other side of the street and stay out of my yard so they don’t get sprayed. It is also a more humane way to deter animals than using hot pepper spray.

5 Stars Only thing that worked and Contech has a great warranty
After battling with the neighbor’s cats for a couple of years over my flower bed/cat toilet and losing every time, I plunked down the $$ for this pricey deterrent and I FINALLY beat those damn cats! No more toilet. Unfortunately after about 8 months my scarecrow stopped working and I thought I was going to have to double-down my investment. Not so! Contech guarantees their product for 2 years. I contacted their tech support and when they determined that it could not be fixed with a part, they shipped me a brand new scarecrow. If you aren’t sure because it seems expensive, BUY IT. It will solve your problems AND the company that makes it stands behind it 100%. No excuses, attempts to dodge their warranty, they simply fulfilled their promise.

3 Stars May not work with cats.
This has been set up for a week now. The manual does state that it may not work with cats. The cat tearing up my yard has so far not set this off. In fact the cat does turn on my porch lights since I have a motion sensor for them, then she sits down next to the Contech and stares at the house.

I on the other hand set the damn thing off all the time. Soon we will have water rationing due to drought. Then I will take to chasing the cat down and beating it over the head with the thing. (Just kidding… sort of…)

I can’t wait to find out what the local skunks think about it…

-After more than a month, it would appear the look of the thing inhibits the cats more than the water. I am still not sure they even set it off…-

5 Stars Fantastic pet deterrent!
This thing really works to keep the cats out of the plants and has a nice side effect of occasional watering!

4 Stars I feel sorry for the mailman, not really. hehe!
I bought this product because of random dog poop in my small front yard. I find it deplorable that people would let their dogs drop a deuce on anyone’s lawn, much less a neighbor. I tried various things and nothing worked, the usual sprays, ammonia, and I even got to the point of taking the poo and shoveling it into the street, so the owner’s would have to walk on the mess themselves. Frankly, I was getting tired of stepping in dog crap when mowing the lawn or just walking to get around the house.

I installed the scarecrow in about 10 minutes and had it working great. Just trying to get the right spray projected in the right direction is probably the most time consuming but not difficult. I think it’s a cool deterrent, I’ve already got a kick out of seeing people trying to bring their dogs to poop and once the scarecrow goes off the dogs looks baffled and the owner just walks away and keeps looking back trying to figure out what the hell just happened. I love it.

I think the mailman is going to have to learn to walk around the motion eye if he wants to stay dry. I’d feel sorry for him but his kind of jerk in his right. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an annoying dog or critter problem. It works!
